Hmm, not off the top of my head that I can think of. I will google and get back to you.

But, here's what I do know. Sushi is meant to be "packed" loosely and thus will easily fall apart when picked up with chopsticks and also when eaten in more than one bite. However, many white people don't know this so the sushi chefs try and compensate by rolling the sushi more tightly. White folks also have a tendency to over do it and drown their sushi in lots of soy sauce and wasabi ruining the delicate flavors. It's practically an insult to drown your sushi in soy sauce and wasabi.

If the sushi chef sees you eating with your hands then he will adjust accordingly as well as grant you favor (bestowing lots of freebies to you).

The proper way as far as I know, is to pick up the sushi gently with one hand and delicately dab in soy sauce (if you must) and eat in one bite. It is also wise to order in a graduated order of light delicate flavors to the more heavy ones.

EX: I usually start off by ordering one piece of raw tofu or a fried egg (to show I am a good diner who will appreciate the chef's skill). The chef will go to great lengths to prepare this properly and use this as an opportunity to show off his skill. Next, I wll inquire to the daily sashimi offerings starting with a white fish like halibut, then red snapper, then yellowtail. Next comes Spanish Mackerel, sea urchin, then the salmons and toros.

After sashimi, nigiri is a good choice to get into. By this time the chef will have offered me off menu items as well as thrown a bunch of stuff he cooked "on the fly". I may get an appetizer or scallops or steamed Manila Clams in garlic sake sauce.

Anyways, you get the idea. A good sushi meal should take about 3 hours.
